Gerry Ginn, the new Huron County warden has
issued a challenge to all council members in the coun

participants in last summer’s slo-pitch program in
Dashwood will be out in full force Sunday Afternoon.
They will be trying to get a jump on the big league
baseball training camps in Florida, but in probably
rather difficult field conditions.
It should be a fun afternoon and all proceeds will
go to aid crippled children.
Leave lights on
Monday night about 40 ladies will be out on the
streets of Exeter canvassing for the March of Dimes.
Chief Marching Mother Dorothy Pfaff is again in
charge of the campaign. These ladies deserve a lot of
credit as they canvass through all kinds of weather.
Monies from this campaign go to help han
dicapped adults. So, leave you porch light on Monday
night to make the canvassing a little easier..
Saddle club awards
One of the less publicized sporting groups in the
area held their annual banquet Saturday night at the
Kirkton-Woodham Community Centre.
A large number of members and supporters of the
Exeter Saddle Club were on hand to see two dozen
trophies presented.
Being a member of a saddle club is certainly a
year-round sport and not seasonal like many. It means
looking after your favorite horse a full twelve months
of the year.
The local club has a number of activities coming
up soon which are worthy of mention. First on the list
is the annual meeting of the club to be held at the Ex
eter Legion Auxiliary rooms on February 2 at 8 p.m.
Following this is a White Elephant sale at the
Huron Park Rec Centre annex on March 24. Next com
es Horse Capades on April 3 at the Huron Park arena
and the annual quarter horse show will be held at Ex
eter Community Park on Saturday. June 10.
WIN LADIES CURLING — A rink skipped by Win Marshall won the first draw of the season at the Exeter ladies curling club.

Race game
shows gains
Agriculture Minister
Eugene Whelan released a
summary of the annual
statistics for pari-mutuel
betting on Canadian horse
racing in 1977, Thursday.
“The gross national
figures appear to indicate
that th^ industry is showing
gains, at least keeping pace
with inflation,” Mr. Whelan
said.
“However, a more
detailed analysis shows the
industry is not as healthy as
the figures suggest. Some
sectors did show en
couraging gains, but others
had only marginal increases
or experienced losses.”
Horse racing, with the
accompanying pari-mutuel
betting, is the number one
spectator activity in Canada.
The gross attendance in 1977
was up slightly due to an
increased number of racing
dates. However, in the past
several years, the average
daily attendance at tracks
has slowly declined.
“The industry faces a
difficult task in maintaining
patron support against the
competition from other
leisure-time activities,” Mr.
Whelan said.
The amount of money bet
in 1977 was $1,231,501,701, an
increase of 9.64 percent and
attendance was up 4.38
percent to 13,381,173.
Ontario led in betting with
a total wagered of close to
$616 million.
performer with a four goal
performance. He also added
one assist.
Wayne Ropp fired one
successful shot and added
five assists to lead the team
in point totals. The other
goals came from the sticks of
Paul Glavin, Wayne Ropp
and Ken Fraser.
Brian Ropp was runnerup
in the assist department with
four while Rob Thoman and
Gerald Nordemann each
picked up one assist.
Murray Jamieson turned
in a strong game in the
Merchants’ goal to record
the shutout.
The tie for the last playoff
position in the Ontario
Hockey Association Con
tinental Senior league bet
ween the Lucan-Ilderton Jets
and the Stratford Perths
continues.
In their only game this
week the Jets dropped a 4-3
decision to the Durham
Huskies Sunday in Durham.
A chance for the Jets to
take over undisputed
possession of that very
important playoff spot
comes up Friday night at the
Ilderton arena when the
Stratford Perths will be in.
Game time is set for 8.15
p.m.
Friday night’s scheduled
game against the Woodstock
Athletics was postponed
because of stormy weather
has been rescheduled at the
Ilderton arena Sunday af
ternoon at 2.15 p.m.
Lose in Middle Frame
In Sunday’s game in
Durham the Huskies out-
scored the Jets two goals to
one in the second period and
that proved to be the dif
ference in the outcome.
In the first period, Don
Neuman was the Durham
marksman and Gary Fera
relied for the L-I club on a
three-way combination with
Rasy Love and captain
Barry Baynham.
Before the midway point of
the middle frame was
reached, the Huskies had
scored twice to take a lead

McCauley and Cal Russell.
The latter scored on a
powerplay.
Brian Murphy of the Jets
put the puck behind John
Bak in the Durham goal at
10.31 on a play originated by
Ray Love and Gary Fera.
Al Lennox of Durham
found the scoring mark on a
long shot at 10.42 of the final
period to put his club up by
two goals.
With only two minutes and
31 seconds left, Barry
Baynham again cut the
deficit to a single goal but
that was as close as the Jets
could come. Ed Robb and
Ron Funston drew assists on
the final goal.
The Huskies were on top
